The Good Salad (to go only)

First time having Good Salad. Sister had been going for awhile, so she recommended it. I personally had the cali ceezer salad. I added steak (which was probably an extra $6-$7, so I'm not completely sure that was worth it for the amount you actually get). Nonetheless, I did like how you could customize your salad. You could deduct toppings you didn't really care for, and add ones that you did. I agreed with my sister that the greens here are really fresh and crisp which is really good to know! Street parking is your best bet to quickly get in and out. Pick up only.

Salads are always fresh and hit the spot for sure! My favorite is the create your own with sweet sesame, but honestly they are all delicious!

First time eating here and I was initially happy — the portion was generous, and the flavor was quite good. I was actually thinking of coming back from time to time. But near the end of my meal, I discovered a large bug in the salad. I looked it up online and it seems to be part of a fruit fly or moth. I immediately returned to the pickup window to report the issue. What shocked me was the staff’s first reaction: she quickly took the box and closed the window without saying a word. That felt very strange and dismissive. A few moments later, she reopened the window and asked whether I wanted a refund or a replacement. I told her I wasn’t looking for either — I just wanted a quick call or message from the manager. Unfortunately, no one followed up with me, even after several hours. A simple apology or acknowledgement from the manager would have made me feel better. What’s even more disappointing is that I saw other reviews mentioning the same issue over a year ago, and it clearly hasn’t been addressed. I hope they take food safety more seriously going forward.

Interesting place to get a decent salad. All the ingredients were fresh, the salad dressing was tasty, and it was easy to order online. Since it is take-out only and located in an industrial park area, there is not much atmosphere to speak of. Parking is hard to find, so most people just double park and walk to the pick-up window.

If I can give this place 0 stars I would. Ordered for dinner tonight because I wanted to save the time of cooking so we checked this place out for the good reviews. 15$ for old beaten lettuce We drove almost 30 min just to get home and open my paperweight salad. Lettuce was beaten black The workers that prepped my salad should know better. This is a disgrace to the customer and the owner of this restaurant, im not going to eat this sorry excuse of a salad, it it will go where it belongs, in the garbage ! I will never give this place my money and i recommend you do the same. !!!STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT!!!

I had the chance to visit @The.Good.Salad’s original location in Santa Clara, CA, and watch my customized salad being made. I love how they use the freshest ingredients daily! The dressing was incredible—it paired perfectly with everything. The mix of textures made every bite enjoyable, and the vibrant colors made it look as good as it tasted. Can’t wait to go back!

I cannot begin to express my literal addiction to this salad. This is the blazing bird and I add bacon bits and a hard boiled egg. The dressing is just SO good. I don’t have the glaze sauce because I’m not a huge balsamic person but it does come w it. Portions are filling. I don’t feel hungry after eating this and I do inhale the whole thing cuz leaving anything behind just feels wrong. Price is normal for Silicon Valley but the quality of the food feels worth the price. Presentation is so cute and I love the eco friendly products. I cannot speak on atmosphere as I have only had delivery. Lastly, I’ve had this salad 3 days straight and I usually don’t like to repeat meals so there’s that ☺️

It's pretty funny pulling up to the store because it is literally a hole in the wall. You ring a doorbell, and someone opens a window to hand you your goods. It's a pretty good work lunch salad overall but unfortunately on the day I went, the chicken was super dry and almost a little tough. All the other ingredients were very fresh and tasty though. I also didn't expect the sesame sauce to be really vinegary so I accidentally made a super sour salad with the glaze, pico, and pickled onions. I want to come back to try other things but maybe I just stick to the steak. The leathery chicken really made a mark on me.

Food was so good, with fast service! It's one of my favorite salad spot now. Everything I come here in the Bay Area it's my go to spot.

The Good Salad is beyond good!!! This is the only location I've ever been too, it's nested in a little warehouse building area, which may be hard to miss! I love the vibe, you ring the bell to pick your order (or order in person) & take it to go. There is a picnic bench to sit on outside but pretty much a To- go place. Not too much designated parking here but not really needed since it's grab & go. I have gone two days in a row this week and many times before this and I always get the same order- the Blazin Chicken salad. It's beyond good. Perfect ratio of all toppings plus the lettuce which is always crispy. They always include a balsamic glaze which is so dang good along w their homemade ranch that has a little kick to it. There's no bad ingredients in any of the dressings, which is a reason to love it more! All the ingredients are always so so fresh and nicely , thoughtfully and carefully prepared, never just thrown together. A must is their watermelon mint drink!!! It is beyond good!!!! Not too sweet, kind of odd mix of sweet and savory it's so amazingly good and fresh! I always get the foccacia bread which is a nice size slice. A newbie for me was the chips and guac and Ommgg INCREDIBLE!!!! Guacamole is so dang good along w their chips, so thin yet thick and crunchy. Will be adding to my orders from now on!! Also I just love when they open the top door, is so crisp inside like perfect for keeping salad ingredients and it smells so so good!! I order on the app and it's always ready to go so fast!! Staff is always so nice and pleasant!! Highly recommend!

Sometimes you gotta have a salad for lunch, and luckily, we were nearby and tried The Good Salad. I got the Samurai salad and my husband got the one with steak and bleu cheese. Both salads were really good, but I liked the samurai one more. Tip: don't put the entire sauce packet in the salad though. It was way too much for my liking and it became a bit too tangy. One thing I don't like is the location. It's like a random door with not a large area for parking so random cars are just illegally parked alongside the road.

First time having Good Salad. Sister had been going for awhile, so she recommended it. I personally had the cali ceezer salad. I added steak (which was probably an extra $6-$7, so I'm not completely sure that was worth it for the amount you actually get). Nonetheless, I did like how you could customize your salad.

Street parking is your best bet to quickly get in and out. Pick up only.

Another great experience at The Good Salad. I wanted to update my review because I REALLY appreciated how they also deduct the cost of the item when you remove it when customizing a pre named salad. I just ordered something from a coffee place, and it allowed me to double charge myself for something that would have been cheaper if I ordered it differently. I feel like the ordering process and very kind here and easy as well. I will continue to come here when craving a salad and open to trying other location but this is the only one I've been to so far since I visit while waiting for my eyebrow services. 10/10

Dont exactly remember what I got in the salad but this place is sooo good! I've had multiple salads from there now and it's always so filling and it makes me feel so healthy too. I've never seen so many options for a salad too, it made it kind of hard to choose ‍ If you're looking for a good salad I would deff try good salad lol the name speaks for itself!

I genuinely never thought you could mess up a salad until I came here. My salad was lacking so much flavor and it was truly not enjoyable at all. I hope I just came on an off day as there was a line of pick ups before me but I will not be going back.

Didn't expect a team lunch order to lead me to the best dang salad I've ever had, but here we are. Absolutely love the Blazing Bird, swapped the chipotle ranch for the grape vinaigrette. Fresh, bold, greatly textured. This place delivers. Every. Single. Time.

LOVED my Create-Your-Own-Salad! Their setup is different as you basically order via their app and pick up your order at the window (once you ring the doorbell). They provide a couple of benches to sit, which is a nice touch. Also LOVED their freshly baked Focaccia bread! I was close to ordering a 2nd one, but I stopped myself, haha. It is a tad pricey, but I feel that it's worth it since the salads are big. Will definitely be back! :-)

Very good neighborhood salad place!! We got the blazing bird and the samurai steak salad. Both were great and we appreciated all the sauces it came with, but I think next time I'd like to try to build my own salad since they have some great options for toppings!

According to Yelp, this spot is surprisingly #8 Top Place to Eat in the nation, so we were eager to try it out. I really enjoyed the customization options - I got a steak supreme salad with parm instead of blue cheese and added edamame + crunchy onions. The steak was very tender and all the toppings made for a satisfying lunch. The ranch dressing was already zingy, so next time I would skip the glaze which took it over the top for me. But, that's kinda on me for not tasting before dumping it in. (Pro-Tip: it's very tart! Drizzle a bit and taste as you go!!) The spot lives up to the name - we had a good salad. I'm not sure if there's really even such thing as an extraordinary salad or a great salad even. But, this was very solid!

I ordered online for pickup on a Monday evening, and my salad was ready in the quoted 15 minute wait time. The location of the building looked dark and deserted. There's a small parking lot for convenience and a pick up window for the Good Salad that's labeled and well lit. Service was quick and sufficient. I customized the cali ceezer, removing a couple toppings and adding smoked bacon bits, hard boiled egg, and additional sauce on the side. Turns out I'm not a fan of the dill-heavy ranch dressing they make here. Luckily, I really like the pesto caesar, and it went perfectly with my customized salad which was made correctly, with fresh ingredients and no shortage of toppings. Based on my recent experience, I'd say this is a decent spot if you're looking for a snack or meal on the healthier side, and want a quick and easy option.

Writing to just update my review again as I'm blown away by their customer service. I left feedback after a tiny issue and the owner Sanad messaged me back personally to apologize AND help resolve the issue. I drive 15-20 minutes just to go get salads from this location (so it's not very close) and after how my last issue was resolved, I am a dedicated loyal customer. Thank you Sanad and Good Salad, I think I may even have purchase a Tote Bag next time as well (photos and update review again soon!). EDIT: Got my tote bag and it's looks great! Thank you Sanad and The Good Salad!

I didn't know what to expect when my bestie told me to pick her up so we can grab these salads. We pulled up to this building and saw the cute logo and radish signage, knowing we were in the right place. Then we walked up and rang the little doorbell, a window sung open, they asked us our name and handed us what turned out to be these glorious salads. Staff is very friendly and the food, extremely deliciousssss! I got the Steak Supreme and it was a perfect balance of sweet, salty, fresh and crunchy (cause I added sweet potato chips and carmelized nuts). The portion was generous and it was easy to mix in the box provided. While The Good Salad isn't a storefront there were these two picnic benches outside which was nice with the sun out. Will definitely be going back to try their other salads!

My first time trying this place and it's delicious I highly recommend. Everything is so fresh and tasty. I will definitely go back.

Built my own salad. Was fantastic. Even if slightly pricey, it worth it for the quality of the ingredients and overall strength of the salad.

No photos for this one as this place is a bit different. Togo salads only, but man are these good salads! Simple ordering process via the website. Grabbed a southwest salad and a piece of bread. Chicken was delicious, salad was excellent, also love the avocado scoop in the corner! The overall shocking thing was how excellent the dressing was! Incredible balance of spicy and creamy. I shouldn't have bought two of them as one did the job just fine, but it's damn good! I do wish it was a fast casual place, but if I wanna grab one to go in the future this is easily high up on my list. 8.3/10

I was a little unsure about how good a salad picked up from a window would be, but The Good Salad truly was good, if not REALLY good! Salads were neatly packed and labeled in a cute paper bag. I loved the options to customize each salad, but only changed up the mix of greens to the Romaine + spring mix + arugula. The dressing comes in pouches on the side so you can add as much or as little dressing as you like. I didn't follow the instructions inside the box very well and ended up mixing in all of the glaze with the dressing, and it was still delicious. The toppings were plentiful and fresh, and the salad was filling. A great option for a healthy and quick meal if you don't have time or don't want to get all the ingredients to assemble a salad yourself.

If you're in the area give this place a try, it's surprisingly tasty. Normally I'm more of a meat lover but this salad place won me over. There's a line for lunch rush but it moves quickly. So far we only tried their Cali Ceezer and fell in love, we have been coming back for that a few more times (even found the store on doordash and ordered the same). Large portion, tasty combination, great value.

Really good to-go salads for an affordable price. The steak salad was great! Can't complain for a $15 lunch pick up.

Delicious salads! Fresh and packed with flavorful ingredients. Very hearty and would recommend! This is a pick up spot, so know that as well :)

It's a damn good salad. At first I wasn't expecting much but I'm so glad I tried this place bc it's now my favorite place to get a salad from in the bay. The blazing bird is super delicious with their two sauces combined. All the ingredients were super fresh and not one piece was wilted. Customer service was very welcoming and nice. It was affordable and I stayed really full afterwards. The lentil soup was also delicious and added a warm touch. There are only 3 dedicated parking spaces and the rest is street parking which is fine bc it's a grab and go place. Process is super easy by putting in an order online and picking it up at the allotted time slot. Will definitely be back.

Quick and fresh salads... I got the blazing bird with blue cheese crumbles and it was spectacular! The chicken was seasoned and flavorful. My salad was fresh and crispy. It was flavorful with the dressing and glaze mixed in. The salad was just as tasty as the last time I came. It is a pickup only shop, but there a few associated seats available outside. Not much going for service as it is pick up only. The parking lot is tight and there is only opening to exit and enter from.

One of my fav spots for a quick lunch whenever I don't know what to eat! I found that my go to here is the popular Blazing Bird. Super flavorful chicken, crunchy greens and onions. The chipotle dressing is sooo good too! They're on DoorDash, but otherwise I'd recommend ordering online before picking up. The only thing I'm not a biggest fan of is their wooden forks... but it doesn't take away from the salad so definitely try it!

For a salary it is really good and my first time having food from this place. I recommend it if anyone would like healthier food

Update to my review below. The owner reached out to me immediately after I completed the survey. He was very nice and apologetic, which was impressive. He did offers to send another salad but it was too late in the day, close to dinner. He also offered to deliver a,salad the following week, but I was out of town. Without asking, he refunded me. With that said, I changed my review from 2 to 4 Stars. With that kind of leadership and kindness, how could I not appreciate and show kindness and understanding in return. Disappointed. The first time I ordered last week, it was amazing. I would have given a 5 star last week. Unfortunately, this second time I cannot say the same. The lettuce this time is old and they barely put my add on ls in the salad. As you can see in the picture, it is mostly lettuce. I didn't ask for extra lettuce. An $18 salad is now going in the garbage and it looks like I'm waiting to eat later tonight. My coworker's lettuce is also old, but she has a salad full of all of what she asked for to be added. Honestly, I should be refunded for this. One pic is mine salad and the other is mine. I mixed up the salad, but still, where are all of my add ons?!!

FYI this is a pick up only spot unless you're ok with limited picnic table seating on grass Located in an industrial area off of the 101, this is a good spot for really fresh and delicious tasting salad. I typically patronize the Los Altos location during the work week but when I'm craving something light and fresh nearby, I'll order from here. Today I messed up and placed an order for pick up only to find out: I set the location for Los Altos. Not a problem, the person at the window said they take care of it and let the Los Altos location know that I picked up in Santa Clara so please make sure you don't do what I did and double check your pick up location. What I appreciate about this business is that the flavor is always CONSISTENT and fresh. ALSO: If you make any modifications such as removing avocado or anything, it also reduces the price and as someone who is always trying to save money, this is very much appreciated.

Just moved to this area and I was looking for a good salad and this place was recommended. I love how it easy it was to place the order and pick up. The salad was delicious and the price seems reasonable. Its also close to my home which means it'll be my go to from now on.

Delicious salads all the time. My favorite salad place. They are generous with their portions and their halal blazin chicken is so good. It's a grab and go restaurant so you place your order online then go to the location to pick it up. Lots of yummy toppings and options for your salad!

It's a to-go place: so no service or ambiance. But the salads are pretty great (including all the options they have. I wish they had more options included for the salad instead of paying for extras cause the salad itself is a bit on the expensive side IMO (especially if you DoorDash it). But overall, great food!

What an awesome concept! Simple menu and delicious food. Definitely "Hole in the wall" where essentially it's pick up only but even tho there isn't any servers the service is amazing. Isaac took my order was very informative and just an overall pleasant person to talk to. He definitely enjoys what he does. Definitely coming back!

The good salad has THE best salad. Idk why but their Blazing bird salad and the dressing it comes with is amazing. It's my favorite salad and I've had a lot of salad. I also love their watermelon mint juice, it's very refreshing. The plaza this location is at can feel secluded and a bit sketch at night but it's worth it for that salad.

This store is for pickup only. Quick service! Parking is very tight and kind of confusing on how to get out, it seems like one way at first but just leave the way you entered, I ended up going all the way around and it's near the car/service shops. I ordered myself the Blazing Bird with chopped romaine lettuce, chipotle ranch, halal cajun chicken breast, fried onion and avocado. I really liked the good glaze as well, it added more flavor to the dish. The chicken was seasoned really well and was tender. This was a very filling salad! I didn't know they had an actual sit down location, might try that spot out next time. I got everything on my salad but you can substitute items out and get it subtracted from your total! Never heard of this practice in restaurants before. Will come back here for my next salad craving!

Never fails, always fresh & delicious Great ingredients! Presentation is beautiful as well!

Not only did the food look amazing, it tasted delicious and left me planning for my next visit. I'll no longer frequent corporate competitors if I'm in the area; they don't even come close in terms of customer service, not to mention food quality and taste. I originally ordered the blazing bird salad and lentil soup. Upon arrival, I was notified that lentil soup was sold out but was kindly offered bone broth or merch. I chose merch (love the corduroy hat color) but was also given bone broth to try. I did end up adding more salt, but the broth was rich and felt like a warm hug. I tried all ingredients in the blazing bird salad separately before mixing in dressing. The chicken was seasoned very well, and the crispy fried onion added the right amount of crunch. The veggies from the pico de gallo and avocado amplified the nutritional value. I usually feel guilty about eating out, but this meal was healthier than some meals I cook at home.

I have mixed feelings about the good salad. I decided to come here last week for lunch because of all the amazing reviews and was extremely excited to try this place out. I ordered their special Caesar salad (Ik it's spelled differently but I forgot how it's spelled) and their watermelon drink. Things that went well: -everything looked amazing -staff was incredibly kind -order was ready quickly Things that didn't go that well: -I do not recommend trying the watermelon drink, it does not taste good at all. The basil is extremely overpowering and it was not very refreshing -while the salad was decent, something felt like it was missing. also the chicken felt undercooked The reviews about here are really good, so I'm hoping it was just a bad day. But it wasn't anything spectacular. Also note that this location is only for pick up. You have to order online and take your food to go. They do have two small benches where you can eat outside, so you could eat there if you would like

i've been hooked since i had the steak supreme salad i really wanna try a different one next time i just know the i love those ingredients together minus the stinky cheese lol i hate cheese crumbles lol ... one more thing i as sad that i could not get my loyalty point at this location ill have to check out the other ones soon but its absolutely delicious n super fresh

Truly is one of the best salads!! Take out only so you can order via Doordash or online and pick up! The ingredients are fresh and the combinations are delicious. I got the Cali Ceezer with chickpeas, pickled onion, and housemade croutons added. The chicken was not dry at all and I love the "Good Glaze" that comes with their salads. Yummy lunch option.

I've been to the good salad twice now and I have to say, it's incredible. The salads here are unique in flavor, texture, and toppings. I love salads and I really love variety. The good salad is really different from other salads in a good way. One thing that I love is that you get money back for removing ingredients from your salads. Incredible for my vegetarian family! They are also SO affordable compared to other salad places. I look forward to coming back and trying the other salads! Note: they are to go only

The name is all you need to know about this place. If you're looking for a good, filling, nutritious salad, this is the place to go. I love me a good blazing bird salad with all the fixing, some extra chicken and its all at a decent price.

I'm giving this 5 stars because I like the place and really value this type of food option - healthy and tasty. I do have some issue though: 1. The bone broth is not good. 2. It would be nice to have regular chicken or better add on protein options - the spiced chicken they have doesn't go with all the salad flavors. 3. I want to know what's in the dressing and hope it's real ingredients. The plastic tear pouches make it feel like it's a little less quality - perception mostly. I do love the focaccia and like that it's an option!

I appreciate the quality of chicken and how well it was marinated in Blazing Bird salad and Cali Caesar. The flavors gel well together. The watermelon drink is a hit too. Overall salads are on the expensive side but worth it, I would recommend it.

This spot is bomb.com. Salads are literally all bomb. Drive up and grab and go. Customer service was quick and on point. Marley made the best salad ever! Location is a grab and go and 2 picnic benches if you want to eat there. Sweet ambiance lol definitely a place to keep coming back.

Back again! It's been a few months but every time I come back it's like a bite of heaven each time. These salads are excellent! Give em a try

my absolute favorite place I would eat this every day if I could, and I was closer I don't mind driving to pick up amazing salads The dressings are all phenomenal. I've had most of them and I would recommend them. All my favorite is sweet heat and the beet chips added to any salad are amazing.

My favorite salad spot by far, delicious, fresh, and top quality ingredients. Their Cali Ceezer salad is my absolute favorite.

I think this is the best salad I've ever had lol Soooo good a must try !! Everything is so fresh as well.

It's an online ordering and pickup process. Once you have arrived, you just ring the doorbell at the door and a staff member will hand you the food. Salad was very fresh, delicious and well-seasoned! Definitely coming back!

I am addicted to this place! I am working in a new area (for me) and I was looking for a place to just get a yummy salad from, after a fiasco of an overpriced salad from Eureka!, and I stumbled across The Good Salad. Since finding these guys I have ordered a salad from them at least once a week. The salads are large. I usually eat half, and then have the rest with my dinner, or as dinner. The ingredients are all really fresh. And, I feel like they are reasonably priced for what you get. I typically opt for making my own salad, although their signature salads all sound good. You get to add up to five toppings from a pretty long list of toppings. You also get a protein and the option to pay to add more. The salads come with one packet of dressing and you can opt to add their signature sweet drizzle. My favorite dressing is the pesto Caesar. You can also pay to add fiber, which adds a small crunchiness to your salad when mixed in. And you can pay to add focaccia on the side, which is soft yet chewy. You can either order online or on their app. Both are easy to use. They are located in a weird spot in an industrial area. Parking is limited, but I have always managed to find a spot (I usually pick up my salad around 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm). There is a two section door where you ring a doorbell and they open the top half. You give them your order number and they hand you the salad. Super easy transaction and so far everyone has been very pleasant. They do have a picnic table in front of the building, but I just opt to take it back to the office to eat. If you haven't tried them you absolutely should. It's 100 times better than any salad I have ordered from a restaurant, and they don't skimp on the ingredients. It's a great way to eat a healthy meal at a decent price.
